Hi Dore,

As stated on the e-mail I sent this morning, could you please follow the
points on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam and
briefly tell us how you addressed them?

Also, could you tell us a bit about Papuan Malay? I'd be interested to
know if it's a language on its own or if it's considered a variant of
Malay. If it's the latter case, I'd rather recommend you to join efforts
with the main Malay team, but that does not mean I'm discouraging you to
form a team if you think it's really necessary.

If you could let us know more about these points, that'd be great.

Thanks!

Regards,
David.

9. Coordinator . - OK.

Papuan Malay is really different from standard Malay. It is just a name, used in linguistics, though actually people call the language simply Baso Papua (Papuan Language). You can see that Papuan Malay word for "language" - "baso" differs from Malay "bahasa" much. Here are also some examples of their difference:

"I am going to the shop" - Papuan "Sa mo ka toku" - Standard Malay "Saya pergi ke toko"
"That girl is reading a book now." - Papuan "Ngades to ada mbaco buko" - Standard Malay "Gadis itu sedang membaca buku."
"Jayapura is the capital city of Papua" - Papuan "Jayapura ito mace-koto Papua" - Standard Malay "Jayapura adalah ibukota Papua"
AND SO ON...

So?

Hi Dore,

I've just added the Papuan Malay team to the Ubuntu Translators group. Now you should be able to start translating Ubuntu in Launchpad.

May I ask you to:

* Check that the language entry on https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/pmy is correct? If you tell me the name in the native language I can also add that
* Look after the steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/KnowledgeBase/StartingTeam#After?

Thanks and happy translating!
